When the other vehicle continued to merge into her travel lane she continued to drive forward and contact was made. Ms. Hawthorne failed to drive defensively. The Accident Review…

    In order to determine the role of DD’s violation of the statute in the car accident the three-part negligence per se test must be applied to determine if . The three elements of the negligence per se test: whether the statute protects a class of individuals of which the Plaintiff is a member, protects against harm of the sort that the Plaintiff suffered, is an appropriate standard for use in the case. Applying this statute to the case it can be determined that the statute was created to protect the class of individuals such as the hitchhiker, i.e. passengers in other vehicles while DD was driving on the road in a tractor trailer truck which he was not licensed to drive. The state statute 101 was not created to prevent the type of harm that was suffered by the Plaintiff, the hitchhiker’s injury was caused by FF’s rear-ending DD and not by DD driving a tractor trailer truck. This is also not the appropriate standard for use in this case because the harm was not the result of violation of the standard. Therefore, the reasonable person standard should be applied instead of negligence per…

    Summarize: In December 1997, Dr. Abid Hanson and his wife, Rubina Husain (hereinafter respondent), traveled with their children and another family from San Francisco to Athens and Cairo for a family vacation. During a stopover in New York, Dr. Hanson learned for the first time that petitioner allowed its passengers to smoke on international flights. Because Dr. Hanson had suffered from asthma and was sensitive to secondhand smoke, respondent requested and obtained seats away from the smoking section. After boarding, they discovered that their seats were only three rows in front of the smoking section. A flight attendant refused respondent's three requests to move Dr. Hanson. As the smoking noticeably increased, Dr. Hanson walked toward the front of the plane to get fresher air. He then received medical assistance but died. Respondents filed a wrongful-death suit in state court, which was removed to federal court. The District Court found petitioner liable for Dr. Hanson's death, and the Ninth Circuit affirmed, concluding that, under Saks' definition of "accident," the flight attendant's refusal to reseat Dr. Hanson was clearly external to him, and unexpected and unusual in light of industry standards, Olympic policy, and the simple nature of the requested accommodation.…

    Section 328A of the Criminal Code Act 1899 (QLD) relates to the offence of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. It is stated that ‘a person who operates, or in any way interferes with the operation of, a vehicle dangerously in any place commits a misdemeanour’ (s 328A Criminal Code Act 1899, QLD). The main element in this section is established through the concept of ‘dangerously’. However, it is not clearly outlined in the Criminal Code Act 1899 (QLD), what encompasses the element of danger. In the past, when considering the concept of ‘danger’ in regards to s 328A, the jury was charged with deciding where the element of fault lay. This fault, did not necessarily need to be conscious. Rather, it involved any act that fell ‘below the care…

    FACTS: On March 29, 1983, about 8:28 P.M., Patrolman Michael Aselton of the Barnstable police department was on radar duty at Old Stage Road in Centerville. He saw the defendant's motorcycle speed by him and commenced pursuit in a marked police cruiser with activated warning devices. The defendant "realized a cruiser was behind him but did not stop because he was `in fear of his license.'" The pursuit lasted roughly six miles through residential, commercial and rural areas. At one point, the defendant had gained a 100 yard lead and crossed an intersection, continuing north. The patrolman's cruiser approached the intersection at about "76 m.p.h. minimal" and passed over a crown in the roadway which caused the patrolman to brake. The wheels locked and the cruiser slid 170 yards, hitting a tree. Patrolman Aselton died as a result of the impact. The defendant had no idea of the accident which had occurred behind him. "No other vehicles were in any way involved in the causation of the accident." The stipulation further states that the decision to terminate a high-speed chase "is to be made by the officer's commanding officer." No such decision to terminate the pursuit had been made at the time of the accident. The Barnstable police department determined that patrolman Aselton died in the line of duty.…

    Texting While Driving

    A person who is driving recklessly may have a willful disregard of safety, or may simply have a wonton attitude about the rules of the road. Each year, more than 80% of drivers cite distraction as a serious problem and a behavior that makes them feel less safe on the road. Nearly half of all people who say they feel less safe than they did five years ago also say distracted driving by other drivers fuels their concerns. There are an abundance of accidents that come about when the sun is not up and people look at their phone then towards the road and still seeing the light of the phone. Ryan Christopher John, 24, of Greenbelt, was driving east in the westbound on lanes of Route 50 near the Bay Dale Drive overpass, when at approximately 4:30 a.m., he struck a Kia driven by Michael Dickinson Gurd, 23, of Bethesda, who was driving in the westbound middle lane of the highway, head on. Ryan John was shortly released from the hospital although Michael Dickinson was forced to stay for days (Rasmussen). If someone drives recklessly, they’re more likely to slowly go into another lane and cause an accident; whether or not they are injured it is still their fault considering they were the ones not paying attention. Distracted drivers are not only a threat to themselves but to others on the road. Forcing higher risk on others is…
